Anyone for Freestyle ?

   I remember back in the 70s, QMSC ran a slalom event, just off the shore in front of the clubhouse, that included celebrity competitors. It was featured live (I think) on BBCs Grandstand over a few Saturdays. Anyone else remember that?

	Looking at developments in some other outdoor activities there seems to be an appetite among the young and wannabe young for a more freestyle side to express themselves in. Gymnastics has Parkour, Skiing now has Freestyle, Snowboards began as freestyle and is only now dabbling with racing, Cycling has the legend of Danny MacAskill. Is there any ground to develop between racing (could be seen as anally uptight) and cruising (often sneered at as old giffers with pipes) ?
